About the Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry
The Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry was set up in February 2022 to investigate the devolved strategic response to the coronavirus pandemic in Scotland between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2022.
The Inquiry works independently of government to establish the facts, identify lessons to be learned and make recommendations to Scottish Ministers, so we are better prepared in future.
People have suffered because of COVID-19 in Scotland and their experiences during the pandemic will be at the heart of the Inquiry's work, guiding its investigations and informing its reports.
Introductory film
The Inquiry has produced a short film as a formal and lasting recognition of the suffering caused by the pandemic to the people of Scotland.
The film was screened at the start of the Inquiry's preliminary hearing on 28 August 2023 in Edinburgh.
An audio described version of this film is also available on the Inquiry's YouTube channel.
